Thank God for the USA webcast. My cable company no longer supports Universal Sports.
+1 for the live webcast.
As for NBC, let’s just say that the list of things they’re showing on NBCSN during the evenings next week is less than stellar.
Live webcast of the entire meet on the USA swimming website? Free? I’m more than happy. Thank you very much to USA swimming for that gift.
It’s great they are covering it, but on the east coast I don’t know one person that can even pay to get Universal Sports.
